Acupuncture
Tiny needles, the size of 3-5 human hairs, are inserted in points along the energy pathways in the body to help everything move more smoothly.
Think of it this way: if you were a planet, these pathways would be rivers. The needles help unblock debris or deepen the water at a particular point, which then benefits the entire river and thus the whole planet.
This ancient modality helps relieve mental, emotional, and physical concerns in our modern world.

That’s moxa (pulverized mugwort leaves) smoking on the end of those needles. It acts like “energetic chicken soup”, building energy and substance within the body. Many times, the needles alone are enough – and when extra support is needed, moxa and other techniques are added in to augment the treatment.
What Can It help?
Acupuncture has been used for over 3,000 years to help with everything from head colds to migraines, digestive disorders, back pain, anxiety, depression, major illnesses… and even helping broken bones heal faster.
The majority of my practice focuses on the stress-trauma-recovery spectrum and how it plays out in our bodies, minds, and hearts – which covers just about everything.
Curious if your signs and symptoms are related?
My goal is to always use as few needles as possible, letting the body’s own wisdom lead in the healing process.

Frequently asked questions

Do the needles hurt?
I treat people using very tiny needles, about the size of 2 human hairs. Yes, they have a sharp point and may pinch as they go in; however, not always. Many points are completely painless and a lot of people take naps during treatment.
Do I have to have something "wrong" to get treatment?
Many people come to me to help maintain and enhance how they live and move through life. Follow the “Let’s Talk” link above, of sign up for an “Intake & Initial Treatment” and we’ll take it from there.
How Often Do I have to come?
For starters, I often suggest you come weekly for a month or more, depending on what is going on. Then, together, we will decide how far to space treatments out. The membership does require at least a 3 month commitment. I find that is the average amount of time it takes for people to begin to feel more vibrant, integrate their self care homework, and develop habits to tend themselves. This is a partnership and we will decide on these steps together.
